Portishead’s Beth Gibbons has shared a second single from her highly anticipated, long-in-the-works solo debut. “Reaching Out” starts out smoldering and bluesy — a great backdrop for Beth’s still amazing voice — but it then blows open wide with horns and crashing percussion. Cool song.
The video for “Reaching Out” was made by Weirdcore (Aphex Twin, Radiohead), who created an interactive visual of a 4D version of Beth falling through space and passing by different eras of her life. With the cursor, you can shift the POV. Check that out here and watch the non-interactive version of the video below.
Lives Outgrown is out May 17 via Domino, and Beth will be on tour later this spring in the UK and Europe with Bill Ryder-Jones opening. Those dates are listed below.
